Meek Mill can almost be forgiven any missteps during his 47-minute show for a boisterous crowd at Dallas’ House of Blues on Sunday night.

With this rapper, it is what he does, not what he says. Cases in point:

He gave away his time. A man who was admittedly not in the fan base, and as surprised as anyone that he was at a rap show, was there courtesy of the artist. Meek Mill was on his flight from Philadelphia and offered tickets. Surprise: He came, he saw, he was conquered.

As at every show, Mill said, he gave “love back to his fans.” A woman was $1,000 richer after Mill noticed she had been “singing every word.” He asked for someone to bring him a bag of money, from which they pulled a wad of cash. He counted it off and handed it to security, who folded it and handed it to the lucky gal.

You smile, he smiles and then you’re almost blindsided by his lyrics. Those are laced with profanities and the rap tropes of base descriptions of money, cash, sex and violence.

Of course, his generous act — Dreams Come True Tour, indeed — was sullied by the song that followed. “Bag of Money,” on the Maybach Music Group CD and featuring label boss Rick Ross, Wale and T-Pain, includes the refrain, “My [expletive] bad, lookin’ like a bag of money.”

Mill’s act, too, is sullied by base language. Profanities abound in “Black Magic;” in the heartfelt, unadorned lyrics about his father’s death when he was a toddler; his songs “for the women;” and “Tupac Back.”

He seemed to hit his stride after reminding the audience about his battle rap days “when he was just grindin’.” It’s as if he reminded himself, too, of how and why he was onstage. It was then that the show kicked into fifth gear.

He started a staccato version of “Use to Be,” took some photos for his Instagram and ran through his back catalog, such as it is, considering he’s only been on the national scene since about 2008. Almost every song was an abbreviated version. That’s because his mixtapes are heavy with collaborations — the crowd went wild for “Racked Up Shawty” — with everyone from Fabolous to Drake to DJ Khaled. He even has a song with Mariah Carey.

Hail the power of mixtapes: His first studio release was just last year with Dreams & Nightmares, which debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.

His career was derailed just as it hit the up escalator, when he was jailed on a gun charge, and his first label’s head, T.I., ran afoul of the law with guns at the same time. Mill eventually signed with Rick Ross’ Miami-based label.

Keep your ears alert for opener Ace Hood, who summed up a horror-filled week with his song “[Expletive] the World.” He has a crisp, focused delivery and a CD coming out this summer called Trials and Tribulations.

It’s a wicked one-two punch Meek Mill has, though: He stretches out a hand while the other’s balled into a fist. They’re quick hits, though, and they burn up the charts. And isn’t that the point? When one speaks of the rapper born Robert Miller, you really have to save your hate for the game.
